Hi everyone - long time no see I suppose. Today Nutmeg hurt her foot and ripped out the sheath of her nail. It was bleeding at first (I noticed it when she walked and left blood spots on the floor) but it has now stopped and there is just some dried blood on her toe.
I've decided to watch it for a bit before rushing her off to the vet but I'm just curious about her digging around in the litter box. The nail isn't gone, I think she just ripped the outer part off, so there is no open wound. Is there anything I should do though to keep it from getting infected from being in the litter box?
Thanks,
Naomi
